After becoming DyCM he has forgotten Congress; ashamed to call him president: MLC hits out at Param

Bengaluru, Jun 6: C M Lingappa, Congress leader from Ramanagaram and MLC has hit out at Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC) president G. Parameshwara for extending the party’s support to the Janata Dal (Secular) candidate in the Assembly byelections in Ramanagaram constituency. He said such a move would ruin the Congress’ growth in the State.

“We are ashamed to say that he is our State Congress president. After becoming the Deputy Chief Minister, he has forgotten Congress leaders and workers. All these attempts will lead to the selling out of the party and its workers,” Mr. Lingappa said.

In the recently concluded Assembly elections, the JD(S)’s H.D. Kumaraswamy won from both Ramanagaram and Channapatna constituencies, and he chose to vacate the Ramanagaram seat. The Election Commission is soon expected to announce bypolls to Ramanagaram segment.

Addressing mediapersons, Mr. Lingappa, former MLA, said the KPCC chief did not even have the courtesy to discuss the issue with the District Congress Committee office-bearers. “Mr. Parameshwara, who has become the Deputy CM, has no ambition of becoming CM in the Congress government,” he alleged.

A few days ago, Mr. Lingappa, a close associate of senior Congress leader D.K. Shivakumar and his brother, made a sensational allegation against BJP national president Amit Shah. He said that when Mr. Shivakumar had taken the lead in keeping Gujarat Congress MLAs together at a resort in Bidadi in August 2017, Mr. Shah had called and asked him to send four Congress MLAs to the BJP camp. Later, income tax officials raided the resort.

New Delhi, Jul 27: A month after banning 59 Chinese applications, the government of Indian has now reportedly banned 47 more apps of Chinese origin in the country. According to sources, the 47 banned Chinese apps were operating as clones of the earlier banned apps. 

The list of the 47 Chinese applications banned by the Indian government will be released soon.

India has also prepared a list of over 250 Chinese apps, including apps linked to Alibaba, that it will examine for any user privacy or national security violations, government sources said. The list also includes Tencent-backed gaming app PUBG.

Some top gaming Chinese applications are also expected to be banned in the new list that is being drawn up, sources said. The Chinese applications, that are being reviewed, have allegedly been sharing data with the Chinese agencies.

Today's decision follows after a high-profile ban of 59 Chinese apps including TikTok, as border tensions continued in Ladakh after a violent, fatal face-off between the Indian and Chinese armies. The government said these apps were engaged in activities that were prejudicial to the sovereignty, integrity and defence of India.

A government press release announcing the ban stated: "The Ministry of Information Technology, invoking it's power under section 69A of the Information Technology Act read with the relevant provisions of the Information Technology (Procedure and Safeguards for Blocking of Access of Information by Public) Rules 2009 and in view of the emergent nature of threats has decided to block 59 apps since in view of information available they are engaged in activities which is prejudicial to sovereignty and integrity of India, defence of India, security of state and public order".

A day later, Google said it has removed all the banned applications from the Play Store. Following the ban, TikTok refuted the claims that suggest it will pursue legal action against the Indian government for banning the app in India.

Reacting to the 59 apps banned by India, the Chinese Foreign Ministry said the country is "strongly concerned regarding the decision of the Indian government".

“China is strongly concerned, verifying the situation,” Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Zhao Lijian was quoted as saying by news agency ANI.

"We want to stress that the Chinese government always asks Chinese businesses to abide by international and local laws-regulations. The Indian government has a responsibility to uphold the legal rights of international investors including Chinese ones," Zhao Lijian said.
